Cherry G80-3700 keypad mods

[samwisekoi]

Does anyone know if the Cherry keypad can have any of the 2x keys split?  Specifically I'd like to split the PLUS or ENTER key, but wonder about this in general?

Ivan?  Anyone?

Thanks in advance,

I think Beast is making a plate for his.

All ready made, just needs to be installed.


I don't think the G80-3700 has the PCB that allows for any of the 2x to be split, otherwise I would have for the +

Ah well.  An EQUALS key would have been an excellent addition, IMHO.

Code: [Select]

NUM  /   *   -
 7   8   9   +
 4   5   6   =
 1   2   3   
 0       .  ENT

I suppose that is why the top row of keys is programmable.

Thanks all!

I prefer this:

Code: [Select]

NUM  /   *   BS
 7   8   9   -
 4   5   6   +
 1   2   3   
 0       .  ENT

a backspace in that corner is super nice

Got a spare plate for me?

Flynn will maybe run them with the G80-1800 plates

^Perfect.

Nice!  Since I have numlock always on, I could move NUM to Shift+ScrLk (as on the SSK) and do this:

Code: [Select]

  =  /   *   BS
 7   8   9   -
 4   5   6   +
 1   2   3   
 0       .  ENT

Leading with the EQUALS for Excel (actually LibreCalc).

I love my big enter!


I'd rather have a split 0 and the = their or a 00
